@politicsnation.bsky.social Hoped that a black male host @MSNBC called out “a spade a spade” on the firing of black 4-star Gen. Brown. However, it was a “white” Dem. Congressman who called out the obvious that the “ONLY” reason the black 4-star Gen. was fired is b/c he’s Black. No question.

@msnbc Acc’g to recent nat’l polls CNN, Washington Post, Pew, Gallup & Quinnipiac polls show Trump’s approval ratings are diving. Acc’g to Gallup wk Trump took ofc his approval rating was 47%-48% & now Trump’s disapproval is 51%. Folks are ‘not’ happy w/Trump, Musk & Co., so don’t believe the hype.

@msnbc.com Can’t say Gov. Hochul didn’t rebuke Trump in his fantasy to be the “King” of New York. What?? NY is diverse largely by immigrants arriving by ships to Ellis Island 250 yrs. ago. The Statue of Liberty represents this. Trump can take his circus act elsewhere. B’way is not for sale.

@msnbc.com If the senators confirm Patel for Dir. of the FBI it will be heartless, shameful & will show they turned their backs on the folks they serve. Patel is a proven liar, racist, unqualified & has a list of those Trump is seeking retribution. Patel will be J. Edgar Hoover on steroids.

@msnbc.com Shameful that a 38yr. old, 8 & 1/2 mo. pregnant acting US prosecutor from SDNY & who was chosen by Trump’s DOJ & the resignations of the other prosecutors showed more respect for their oath, the constitution & laws than all the Republicans in both chambers put together. Hands down.

@msnbc.com As the Gov. of NY said there is “No King” in New York. You would think Trump had gotten the message when his home state 2X didn't vote for him in the elections. Nope, Trump is not going to turn Times Sq into ‘MAGA’ Sq. Statue of Liberty is still standing. Not a statue of a King.

@msnbc.com Republicans in the Senate & House should be feeling embarrassed & ashamed b/c their self-proclaimed “King” would have the audacity to say that Ukraine started the war with Russia & all the world heard. What the heck? Just plain insane & delusional. You Bow your Knees to God.

@msnbc.com The ‘The Nation.’ article dated 2/19/25 about what the Democrats s/b doing is pennies short of making a dollar. Wasn't it the newly elected DNC president Martin said the DNC was going to ‘Red & Blue’ states before 2/19/25? Just pay attention folks. And the Republicans?

@msnbc.com Maybe, had the American athletes’ felon president hadn’t spewed out such garbage about making Canada the 51st state the Canadians wouldn't be booing during the playing of the national anthem. You don’t insult people who take pride in being Canadians. Just another example of unfitness.

@msnbc.com It’s my opinion that the issue with the use of cell phones among the youth could be a lack of real parenting. Why buy an iPhone for your child who’s under 16? If you were to buy a cell phone there are parental controls. Why subject your teen to bullying & jealousy? Talking is key.

@msnbc.com Ok? So now that the Republicans have control of all 3 branches of gov’t it’s on the Dems to save the gov’t from destruction? Really? More attention should be directed to the Republicans b/c it’s their constituents in rural communities who will suffer the most. That’s the reality.

@msnbc.com The lack of bravery comes from the Republicans in Congress, not the Dems. The fact is that ML Hakim Jefferies appeared Sunday on ABC. Dems that are speaking at the rallies shows no lack of bravery. The Dems Senators at the confirmation hearings show bravery. Bravery?

@msnbc.com Are the MAGA Senators & Hse Republicans idiots, cult followers, lack empathy, spineless, lack courage, lack compassion, & just don’t give a damn.? Sadly, for the folks in the country, it's all of the above. They should just pack their bags & take their sorry selves home.

@msnbc.com What the DNC needs to be doing is tackling the issues of gerrymandering & voter suppression that are still so rampant. Why are the Republicans so afraid to ensure that every vote is counted? Afraid of the results? Of course, they are. When does this end? Just unacceptable & unjust.

@msnbc.com Folks are acting surprised that Trump & Putin are besties.This is just a continuation of Trump’s 1st term. Their communication never ceased. Trump isn’t a good person & prefers enemies over friends. Trump has always been his own worst enemy & blames others for his own bad judgment.

@msnbc.com It’s sad that a felon, serial lying president & an unelected billionaire dismantled the gov’t agencies that are uprooting people's lives in such a cold-hearted way. It's the job of the IGs to eliminate wasteful spending. They fired the IGs b/c they didn’t want them watching.

@msnbc.com The focus groups that say they’re ok w/Trump & Musk invading their private info so it's obvious they’re Republican/MAGA voters. Folks come on the air and spew their propaganda nonsense & it’s so tiring seeing some hosts that don’t ask the hard questions nor don’t push back for facts.

@msnbc.com It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that Gov. Hochul won’t remove Adams. Adams's popularity was dropping b4 the allegations came out. Adams has forgotten NYC is a sanctuary city. If Adams isn’t removed he won’t be re-elected. Adams was damaged goods the day he kissed the ring.

@msnbc.com I wonder how Mayor Adams feels about Tom Homan disrespecting him on Fox News when he said “I’ll be up your butt” implying If he doesn’t get what he wants. Just humiliating. Homan isn’t playing b/c he’s following Adams around NYC like jelly on peanut butter. Good luck, Mr. Mayor.

@msnbc.com Musk is wrecking gov’t agencies that he either owes fines to, is being sued, or to halt investigations into his companies. For example, the E.E.O.C sued Tesla, alleging widespread & “ongoing racial harassment”. The list goes on. What’s Musk's remedy? Fire all the heads of the depts.

@msnbc.com Now that the Sen. Republicans saw how disastrous of a performance Sec’y of Defence Hegseth displayed for the world to see they should be embarrassed. Their votes confirmed him. Hegseth was visibly over his head. One could imagine those listening to him miss the 4-star General Not alone.

@msnbc.com VP Vance lectures US allies in Munich re: ‘democracy’. What? Folks here today are rallying still trying to save US democracy. Sadly, some folks last Nov. ignored that memo. It’s no surprise that CNN’s Chief Int’l Reporter said Vance’s speech went down like a “lead balloon”. Ouch!

@msnbc.com I could understand Gov. Hochul's hesitant to remove Mayor Adams from office, but unless the governor thinks that an indicted compromised MAGA turned Mayor is good for NYC then it's time for Adams to go. Sadly, Mayor Adams's integrity, dignity, and respectability are all gone. Not good.

@msnbc.com When Trump attys appear in front of the judge to hear their motion to dismiss Adams's case it won't be a walk in the park as they think. The judge has the resignation letter from acting US Atty Sassoon & it's safe to say words like ‘quid pro quo’ won’t sit well with the judge.

@msnbc.com It’s been reported 75K Fed. workers according to Trump & Musk have accepted their buyout & those numbers can’t be verified, I wonder why? A lie. Plain & Simple. Union presidents aren’t going to advise 75K members to sign off on the words of Trump & an unelected billionaire. Nope.

@msnbc.com If Patel is confirmed to head the FBI it would be as if the Republican Senators lit the match that Patel has in his hand. He’s very dangerous for the people of this country & the senators knows this. To ignore the flashing red lights” leaves them no room for excuses or regrets.

@msnbc.com If these Senator Republicans vote today to confirm RFK, Jr., then the Senators have failed their constituents & the country. RFK, Jr. is unqualified & incompetent. RFK, Jr. Is neither a doctor nor a scientist. There’s no room for on-the-job training when you’re the head of HHS.

@joy.msnbc.com Trump continues to use the acronym DEI in a derogatory & racist way. It’s so insulting & deliberate. Why DEI? A federal statistics labor report of Feb. ‘24 shows more than 90% of aircraft pilots are “white males”. Where’s the DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion) in this? None.

@msnbc.com You can’t trust anything that “tries” to come out of Musk’s mouth. Musk claims he found millions of dollars in gov’t waste, then where’s the proof? It was the Dems that requested a meeting w/Musk & that never happened. Dems wanted to subpoena Musk & Republicans voted no. Transparency?

@maddowblog.msnbc.com Thank you! Keep showing those rallies b/c it’s so reassuring to know that there are hundreds of folks out there who believe in our democratic norms. The world needs to see that “nope” not all Americans are down with the Trump & Musk crap. And You always do a great job!

@alivitali.bsky.social You’re doing a great job! I was happy to learn you was the new host of “way to early” so deserving. Just as a note Congressman Meeks represents the 5th district in Queens, not Manhattan or Brooklyn. All the best to you.

@msnbc.com One can only imagine that folks around the globe disliked Trump from Trump 1.0. & are now perplexed as to how a 78-year-old felon, who only cares about $ & his rich friends was ever re-elected. Trump & Co.'s bigotry thinking is isolationism is good for America. For who? White men?

@msnbc.com If the Trump lawyers are going to stand in front of judges with illegitimate arguments based on Trump's unconstitutional executive orders then the judges should sanction the lawyers & refer them to the ABA. Why have a law degree when you’re not honoring your oath? Unacceptable.

@msnbc That’s just great every day you hear about major health concerns from the Flu, measles & bird flu yet RFK, Jr. is on the path to being head of DHS. Republicans, are you kidding? This is no joke & very serious. RFK, Jr is unqualified & a real danger. But, Senate Republicans don’t care.

@msnbc.com NYC Mayor shouldn’t bother to run for re-election. Adams is toast & the toasting began when he ran down to Mar-a-Lago and kissed the ring. Imagine, a mayor sells out his city to save his hide. So shameless. Maybe, Trump will have a job waiting for Adams b/c he will soon be unemployed.

@msnbc.com If, Spkr Johnson, is so confident that Musk is doing a great job for their voters then Mike & the lap dog Republicans should hold town hall meetings & explain to their voters, why their private info. such as their SS# has been breached. Never a good look for a man to appear weak.

@msnbc.com Lately, there’s been one too many airplane accidents since Trump is back in office & Musk is in control. Firing the head of the FAA on day one & disbanding the Federal Aviation Safety Board was a tragic mistake. If Musk is using AI to navigate the FAA sadly more blood will be spilled.

@joyannreid.bsky.social Folks have to remember that the Dems don’t hold the majority in the legislative branchs. Dems are at the mercy of the judges. Folks should contact their Congressperson. Republicans are in essence assisting in wrecking the gov’t. Just terrible for the country. Very Shameful.

@espn.com Now that QB Hurts is SB MVP & the Eagles are SB 2024 Champs, how about some “brotherly love” for Hurts? Hurts has proven that he’s “1” of the best QBs in the NFL. Don’t start raising the bar on Hurts b/c he has jumped over it w/the MVP trophy in hand. Can’t say the same for others.

@msnbc.com How can a CBS poll show that Trump’s approval rating was at 53% when last week a poll view on MSNBC showed Trump’s approval rating had dropped under 20% for Republicans & at 6% for Dems & Independents? Who are they polling, MAGA? I doubt that 53% of folks are ok w/their SS#s leaked.

@theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Imagine, you’ve accepted a federal job in LA, so you sell your house in upstate NY & relocate your family, however now that you & your family have arrived in LA, you’re told that the job is no longer available. Just crushing. A true story that I know.

@msnbc.com I’m no conspiracy theorist I'm for truth & facts. However, for those who have an interest in voter suppression, I saw a video titled “Did Trump Cheat To Win” with Greg Palast. Palast is an author & investigative reporter for the Guardian & BBC. Palast once worked for the DOJ.

@msnbc.com As an average citizen isn’t it against the law to break laws? What about the Constitution? Isn’t hacking a federal offense? So why haven’t Musk & his white supremacists who are running around the gov’t entities stealing gov’t secrets, been arrested? This is baffling on all levels.

@msnbc.com The former FBI Director needs to speak on behalf of the FBI, especially with all the uncertainty within. And how the biggest threat to America is Domestic Terrorism. Trump pardoning J6 felons & for the safety of this country the “red lights” are flashing, Mr. Wray. Do something.

@msnbc.com It’s an embarrassment in the eyes of the world, the U.S. with the highest GDP in the world is freezing USAID funds appropriated for humanitarian aid & which is crucial to national security with just 1% of the taxpayer's money going to funding USAID. Not a good look.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social When Trump signed an executive order last week promising to cancel student visas for Pro-Palestine protesters & Foreign students, perhaps Trump’s exec. order played a hand in the silence.

@msnbc.com When the press secretary tried to walk back the comments Trump made about Gaza it was too late. Damage was done. For Trump to throw a grenade in the Middle East was dangerous & irresponsible for any leader to do. What about the troops overseas? Why put their lives in danger?
